Chapter 13
Friday nights were usually pizza night at the Summers' home. This Friday, September 7th, Buffy asked if her friend Willow could stay over. Joycegave permission. Buffy feared that telling her mother about a flying knife would land her in a mental institution. But she needed to tell someone about it, and she knew that Mom wouldn't allow Xander or Jessie into Buffy's bedroom. After pizza Buffy and Willow talked quietly in Buffy's room. Buffy told Willow about the flying knife.
Buffy: So, am I crazy?
Willow: "Crazy" is a strong word. I'm not sure what you actually saw, but I don't think you're crazy.
Buffy: I haven't told anyone else, they might not be as optimistic as you are.
Willow: What do you think it was?
Buffy: I't got to be that Satanic preacher. He tried to kill me to shut me up.
Willow: Didn't you tell everything in court?
Buffy: Yeah.
Willow: And there still wasn't enough evidence. So why would he try to kill you?
Buffy: The judge said they could charge him again if new evidence is found. Also he is freakin nuts. You heard about that serial killer in Chicago right?
Willow: Yeah, but it couldn't have been the same guy. It maybe could've been his disciple, which is starting to sound eerily plausible.
Buffy: Makes sense. He got Marcie to kill herself, he could've gotten this other girl to commit murder. The sicko probably gets off on women hurting themselves or each other.
Willow: Do you think he left town, or is that wishful thinking on my part?
Buffy: I haven't seen him since Wednesday so fingers crossed. And be careful.
Willow: You too.
